I checked prices too and it looks like they'll be issuing a 1099 for almost 10X the going rate. Personally, I can't afford that. But thanks for posting.

I don't know if they added it, or I missed it below the window. But they covered that. No 1099.

LIMITS: Limit one prize per person. Victory Instruments will not be issuing a 1099 for the prize, as the wholesale and street price lower than the $600 IRS threshold. Consult your tax advisor for tax eligibility, if any.

For future reference, you can claim the current street value for prize wins on your taxes, not the inflated MSRP that is usually stated on 1099 forms.

Not worth the hassle. If the company's claiming it's worth $1100 and I'm claiming it's worth $160, the IRS will review it, not just take my word. The less I bother the Feds the better. Plus, do I really want to get involved in a contest with a company claiming their product is worth seven times what's real? They can keep their watch and I'll move on to the next contest. But thanks for the input.

I guess you didn't read my reply that they are not 1099ing the winner, so it is up to you to declare it on your taxes if you want.
